A year passed and again this day commemorates the foundation of Hungary, this is 1018th birthday. We celebrate this national holiday with listening to politicians mixing irrelevant daily politics into historical events in the morning and watching fireworks in the evening. Budapesterners can witness the procession of state founder Saint Stephen's Holy Dexter. Also all the local communities have their own little celebrations.
This is the third time I make this thread, and I won't post much, maybe I'll post something about what happened today - if anything interesting - later.

I want to expand on the issue of Suez.
The crisis was multicausal, all components developed in parallel.
First the three involved Western powers - US, UK, and France - were all worried about Soviet involvement in the Middle East and they tried to organize the region to become resistant to that. UK and France were the chief colonial powers who held interests, mandates, and clients all over the place.
Arab countries were just getting organized, gaining independence, or at least elevated to client status. They all tried to build relations with each other, they were in the process to figure out how to proceed. Algeria became a sore point with the French as Egypt supported Pan-Arabism. And the formation of Israel was like a bomb dropped amidst of the Arabs, and they reacted accordingly. One problem of the US was how to solve this issue.
Egypt herself had problems with Israel. Egypt held Gaza, and Palestinian guerillas and Israeli counterinsurgents attacked each other all the time, Israelis were sending raids into Egyptian supervised areas. For Egypt the rapid arming of Israel also meant threat. This lead to the classic security dilemma of Realpolitik.
Egypt also sought weapons, but the three Western powers denied them. So Nasser reached out to the Soviet, whom supplied them via Czechoslovakia. This in return alarmed Israel and the Westerners. Partially for the security dilemma, and partially for the growing Soviet influence.
The US particularly hated the purchase. They had great hopes for Egypt becoming a client. CIA had good rapport with Nasser, who became the leader of the country after they couped King Farouk. They supported his regime, but Cairo refused the client status. Then Egypt not just bought armament from the Soviet, but they recognized the People's Republic of China. The US got so pissed off they refused to finance the construction of the Aswan Dam, the project which aimed to power the new Egyptian economy.
And the Canal itself. Both French and the British held stake in the Canal, and private company managed it, in theory keeping it neutral for everyone, but in practice British political interests decided who can use it, since they occupied Egypt back in the late 19th century.

I can only continue tomorrow.

Let's continue:  >>/54770/

And we arrived to the importance of the region.
Even without the Canal, Egypt and the Middle East was an important bridge between Europe and Asia. Napoleon, at the start of the wars named after him, tried to disrupt the British trade and power by delivering a strike into the area. And the Brits reacted with the force that matched the seriousness of the situation.

How is this important for us, and how this influenced the events on the Hungary?
Well, I think we have to understand how the Anglos view the world, because it's very different from how continental Euros, the French, German, Russian, and of course us think about it. We lament about center/core and periphery, ofc in all of our case the center is at a bit different places.
But the Anglos - either on the Small Island or their isolated continent - think in hubs, choke points, springboards along the sea lanes which help them projecting their power all over the globe. The inland wherever those may be are the periphery. Lands that can be sacrificed and pull back from, to return and take back later. Maybe many decades later. If a rival rises within those lands, the Anglos can blockade them, and harass them from all sides. They can land troops wherever they want. They can make deals with the regimes at places what the central considers as periphery. They enlist them and turn against the rivals.

The Middle East is one such a hub. Probably the most important of all, the meeting point of Europe, Africa, and Asia. The Brits spent literally hundreds of years to establish their presence and control there. They established trading companies (most notably the Levant Company) not just to conduct trade but to build ties with the Ottomans, who ruled those lands. And as the Ottos started to decline they propped them up, with money, advice, training and weapons just like how the US props up her clients... then as they started to crumble they took over areas and when they sided with the Central Powers and defied the Anglo they broke the empire of the Turks up. They gained control in Egypt, Palestine, Transjordan, Iraq, Gulf, South Arabia, Aden.

The US inherited the agenda, and after WWII the UK had to understand they are not the Anglo global empire anymore. Lo by today all the listed areas are US clients except "South Arabia" - ie Yemen with the Houthis. The US was forward enough about it. The 1957 Eisenhower Doctrine is all about it:
[the U.S.would] cooperate with and assist any nation or group of nations in the general area of the Middle East in the development of economic strength dedicated to the maintenance of national independence ... [and] undertake in the same region programs of military assistance and cooperation with any nation or group of nations which desires such aid.
(quote from the US Foreign Policy in Perspective: Clients, Enemies and Empire)

Both in the British and American society the Hungarian revolution echoed, they reacted, those who thought Yalta was a mistake saw a chance to fix it.
On the level of actions however the governments of these powers had better things to do at places that they could reach more easily, and were more important for geopolitical reasons. So our struggle became a handy bait to distract the Soviet and gave time to secure the precious Canal from a perceived pro-Soviet threat in the Middle East - with the consent of the Soviet Union.
Consider this:
Egypt went from a candidate ally and client to enemy for the US in a couple of years perhaps less, but have to check the the chronology closer. They bought Russian weapons, recognized PRC, and nationalized the Canal. This was alarming. The threat that an enemy can cut off one of the most important sea lane on the world became a #1 item to solve on the problems list. When the SU is distracted elsewhere seems like the best time to fix this issue.
Since both French and British interests were harmed, surely they didn't need much encouragement to take matters in their hands. And since the US wasn't part of the action, Washington could step in as an outsider who wants to end the killing, legitimized by the United Nations and with it by the Soviet Union.
Sure, French and the Brits did not get back their "property", but the enemy lost a potential leverage too. The Canal was safe and sound, overseen by international participants.
With the very low cost of not doing anything about a Soviet client.

I want to read this, I put it here, I hope I won't forget.

Nothing much going on in Syria anymore. Bit of ISIS I see on the map, and the SAA bombarding rebels on the north east. Beside that Israel is constantly attacking into Syria, targeting Iranian backed terrorists, and Iranian backed militias, and apparently Iranian militias themselves.
In Israel, the IDF still wrestling with some Iranian backed, dirty, barefeet, stone throwing kids since October... Where Yom Kippur and Six-Day Wars disappeared? Anyway. In Gaza they bombing Iranian backed Hamas, in Lebanon the Iranian backed Hezbollah. Sometimes they have a cease fire to release hostages as the Iranian backed Qatar negotiates it.
From Yemen, the Iranian backed Houthis raiding the shipping lanes with drones and whatnot.
In Ukraine the Iranian backed RAF/RuAf is on the attack. The initiative is theirs, AFU tries holding their trenches, forts, and foxholes. I heard couple of interesting things today, but would need some drawing and look up possible sources.

Seems like peace is achievable in Gaza, at least both Hamas and Israel agreed on it. Large peace conference is expected with many participants, both from the Middle East and Europe. It will be chaired by Trump and al Sisi of Egypt.
Trump talks in the Knesset right at the moment. Previously Witkoff arrived to prepare the field, when he mentioned Netanyahu the audience booed. Fun.
Exchange of prisoners is happening too.
Read somewhere a title that various Palestinian groups fighting each other (specifically with the Hamas).

Border clashes are reported between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Some Taliban groups which active in Pakistan has bases within Afghanistan and the Pak targeted these with airstrikes, last Thursday really. On Oct 9th.
In response Talibans did some wild shooting through the border. The Pakistan retaliated to the retaliation. Number of people died on both sides.
https://apnews.com/article/afghanistan-pakistan-kabul-blast-594e4bf0291d6895568070a871415933
https://apnews.com/article/pakistan-afghanistan-border-6089d7b9cf33d2dcac365808ad3dad53

In the past Pakistan attacked into the territory of her neighbour in fact they did this during the US occupation all the time.
https://apnews.com/article/pakistan-afghanistan-militant-camp-air-strikes-1eb6ebd92403795d03856b1b97cac0da
And their border forces also had clashes between them:
https://www.azernews.az/region/220624.html

Backdrop for the events seems to be the Afghani integration into the regional foreign politics. The Taliban regime sought out all the neighbours, but they seem to be on odds with Iran and Pakistan, while building good relations with everyone else, Russia, China, the *stans, and most importantly at least in relation to this issue India.
Might be important to consider that Pakistani regime is the client of the United States, and that recently Trump stated they might want the Bagram airbase back. But maybe this just adds to the attention and not to the actual conflict.

Fun fact. India did similarly to Pak, how Pak did Afghanistan. They are on the receiving and the giving end apparently.

So the leaders of the US, Egyp, Turkey, and Qatar signs a document that outlines "rules and regulations" of the ceasefire implementation between Hamas and Israel  >>/54719/
I'm not sure the real importance.
In theory the US has the power to force Israel to keep what's agreed on, Qatar has working relation with Hamas, Egypt is a direct neighbour, and Turkey is an important regional power with strong influence on Syria.
But then why not the Saudis?
I also see that Iran was marginalized so much, they don't seem to pay mind for them, even tho, Hamas is a proxy of theirs. Perhaps it's not true anymore.
And I'm curious if Egypt is a US client now. Israel yes, Turkey yes, Qatar I assume yes (US has basing rights there, it usually comes with the status).
> The main U.S. military base in Qatar is Al Udeid Air Base, which serves as a key logistics and command hub for U.S. operations in the Middle East. It is home to the U.S. Air Forces Central Command and hosts thousands of military personnel and various aircraft.
Ah this sounds like a very much yes in case of Qatar.

I might look up Egypt status somehow. This could be a good starting point perhaps.

Good day,
 
I was wondering if anyone here happens to have---and is willing to share---any sort of material on radiesthesia, specifically, accessing non-local information, i.e., telesthesia or "psi-gamma."
 
Because of a few (really obscure) Nazi-era documents I've found, I know for a fact that it works; I am just looking for more sources to teach myself. (Simply searching Google for the terms leads to hundreds of YouTubers pushing scammy topics.)
 
Thanks.

I wanted to make a more serious thread about a very concerning topic regarding kohl and hope that someone can assist me or I can assist them.

I browse kohl's /int/ board sporadically and lurk threads for regular assberger things - plants, bugs, Ukrainian vs Russian threads, etc

I've noticed that every time I go, my browser cache(I use Firefox) gets bigger but I can't get rid of it. It only happens when I visit that site. So I went there a few years ago to see a very innocuous thread about blimps. Nothing really too interesting. After I closed it, my cache increased by 1mb in my computer. 

There is no way I can get rid of it. Wanted to ask if bernds also had this issue

Ernstchan(.top) closes soon, in theory by the end of September.
Another chapter of imageboard history, related to Bernd and Krautchan. They got lotta heat from some Bernds for being overly anal and autistic about things. I did not mind these quirks, they have their place on the internet. Due to lack of time I have not used the site in the past years. I know those who posted there cared about the site, just as our posters here cared about /kc/.
Good bye, Süß Prinz.

Maybe we can recommend this board to ernst refugees in case they need it. Setting up custom CSS and styling on boards in Endchan is easy enough. They should have a good enough looking ernst clone if they try to make it.

so im prolly preaching to the choir here, but kohl has been completely and totally overrun by pedos. i have reason to suspect that it is being done purposefully, either as a way to disrupt /int/, entrap unproxied/naive bernds who cant into clearing their cache, and plant CP in their temporary files, and/or to use /int/ as a wall of noise, and bernds themselves, as a way to distract from their own exchanging of such content. im leaning towards the last one tbh hence why the offer of simply making a new board dedicated to such content. i think these bernds with nothing to hide, and no threat model nor intention of viewing such degeneracy, are at risk. i believe this is being cultivated purposefully so as to surround their gaggle of degenerates with low-hanging fruit who may be stupid enough to accidentally click on something, or unaware that when viewing a page with a bunch of thumbnails of child models, all those thumbnails get downloaded by your browser.

i gave a reasonable list of demands that i feel are not too extreme, and limit no ones free speech other than the freedom to endanger naive bernds and plant CP on their computers unknowingly and even gave a provision where proxies/tor are not to be banned, but it was not enough. the mods are 100% complicit in it, and allow it, and worse, encourage it. they feel that pedoposting improves the quality of the board via keeping keins and ledditors out. they feel that removing suggestively posed, scantily clad children pics means turning the joint into a reddit-tier hugbox but again, i suspect their motives are more that of self preservation, as even the most unaware of bernds has heard that kohl is run by pedos. this, even though such innocent content like candydoll webms is certainly enough for some bernd in a more conservative cunt to be fucked over hard and have his life ruined if found in his cache

ive been quietly harboring suspicions of this sort of activity for a while, but have been biting my tongue so as to not cause another mass exodus over nothing. but this is not nothing. these fucks are doing this intentionally and at this point, im certain of it. in the past few days, i heard enough other bernds exclaim similar theories about how kohl is nothing more than a fed honeypot even that dergeneral was forced to 86 the old kc serb in order to cause an exodus to a more thoroughly controlled new site, or that the owners have been co-opted/blackmailed into setting one up, and also that the use of a, now fast-moving, /int/ is being used to cover for their smut dealings.

even when asking the mods to be transparent and make a clear definitive statement on their personal moderative tendencies on such content, and to post this warning on /int/ and warn these naive bernds of the risk they face by posting there, ive been met with deflectionary responses, and weak-ass limp-dicked argumentative tactics to which i am utterly immune, as well as a distinct lack of action. they want this, and it couldnt be more clear. but worse, they want the deception. as such, i suspect foul play of some sort
idk, im really worried about the safety of the dozens of bernds who post there on a daily basis without proxy, and without clearing their caches constantly. i love all you guys a whole lot and id hate to see anyones lives get fuckt because some random pedonigger had to bump his shitty thread full of candydoll webms and pics of naked preteens to the first page, and some poor sap who didnt know any better refreshed the first page while it happened. ive seen this tactic used on other imageboards countless times and against countless communities, and with all the commotion, i felt the need to speak up about it.

That Australian Bernd sees it clearly.
Pedos = terrorists. Then they try to take the moral high ground with referring to freedom of speech, and when they get it, they make everything cp, and they inject every thread with their pedo content.
Also your 5.7MB screenshot is highly suspicious. I took screenshots of longer threads with lower filesize, in png.

Tank thread reup. So.

Today I had to bury the 6th dead bird this year. Not even this year, this summer! I would say I never ever buried this much but frankly before this I had to do this only twice in my whole life. I dunno what's going on with them.
It would be easier to just dump them into the dumpster but frankly I rather spend some energy and give them an ok final rest.
During digging I came across a very interesting archaeological findings: this tank on picrels. It wasn't mine and not any of my pals owned such or even played around that spot in our childhood so I suppose one of my family members owned this there are some possibilities.
What Bernd think what type of tank is this? I think it has the Sherman looks.

Also this can be a general vehicle/weapons thread as well.

Well I asked grok, and it gathered some data from 20 webpages, like half of those were Wikipedia.
Here's the summary of it's summary. Naval/military vessels.
Notable types and groups: aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates and corvettes counts these as one category, it isn't wrong, submarines, littoral combat ships, patrol vessels, amphibious ships.
Largest global producers: China (50%), South Korea(28%), Japan(13%) - it sums this at 85%, not 91, so I assume the variation comes from the sources and yearly fluctuation. This is insanely disproportionate. Probably these numbers include commercial ships too - just by the glance I took at the sources.
Other notable producers: US, Russia, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, India (1%), Philippines, Vietnam, Turkey.
Aircraft carrier manufacturing in: China, US, India, France, UK. I'm not sure the latter two still produces them, or they built some and have potential capability to continue if need arises.

Here's a handful of links:

Not all ships are the same so that does not help much. China has more ships than the US but most of those are small coastal ships.

The other competitor for this contract was German but their ship needed more crew and had a shorter life span so even though it was smaller than the Japanese one it would cost about the same over it's life time. Japanese ship is also configured to work with US navy ships so that helps us too. Plus there were probably diplomatic reasons, it makes more sense for us to work with Japan than Germany seeing as Germany has no presence or interest in this area anyway.

The UK recently build two, HMS Elizabeth(named after Elizabeth I not II) and HMS Prince of Wales. It's struggling to maintain it's navy though, but with the new funding they will get they may be able to finally maintain it properly, also personnel retention is an issue(that's the case in most western nations, hence why Australia wanted the ship with less crew).

That dude of the Primitive Technology channel and all his copycats have a great advantage: access to unlimited supply of bamboo. Unlimited to their objectives. That stuff is great, tuff as shit, light as feather, can be used to many purpose with little modification and not too much work.

I also read most of this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation#Responsibility_and_accountability
I think technology and it's use are running forward and lawmakers lag behind. Those who spent any time in the past two decades on the internet have a giant heap of data about them. I think Bernd posted a video about a security eggsbert, I think he works kind of a private investigator many time cooperating with officials and he said in that video anonymizing data worth nothing it can be de-anonymized with ease, and both companies and govt agencies do.
Now this law was passed at 2016. This year the EU countries have to start implementing it. Who knows how long it takes until it finishes. The whole stuff is kinda vague (it can be modified when necessary tho), and I don't know for example how the EU can force a foreign company to do whatever? There are sanctions but what jurisdiction the EU has over a US based firm for example Facebook and how the EU will force the sanctions onto for example said company?

This sounds cool: The DECRYPT Project
Includes history and AI/ML tools.
https://de-crypt.org/
About:
Thousands of enciphered historical manuscripts are buried in libraries and archives. Examples of such material are diplomatic correspondence and intelligence reports, private letters and diaries as well as manuscripts related to secret societies. The bulk of these historical manuscripts will remain undeciphered unless we can automate the processes involved in decoding them. Our aim is to develop resources and computer-aided tools for decoding of historical source material by using AI and cross-disciplinary research...
Tools:
collection of digitized images of ciphertexts and encryption keys along with metadata information about their provenance, location, transcription, and possible cryptanalysis or commentary.
all records in thedatabase are open to the public
tools for transcription and decipherment of historical ciphers
Historical cipher images can be transcribed, i.e. transformed into a computer readable text format
transcribed ciphertext can be corrected
Decode Database, HistCorp, TranscripTool, CrypTool whatnot.
open source under the Apache license v.2.0  with the exception od Decode db.
Quite a few Hungarians in the project apparently. They started publications in 2019 so fairly new thing this is, probably the emergence of these machine learning models allowed them to form this team.

Looking at the Decode db, the earliest dated document is from the 15th century. There is one that says 1300-1699. I think accessing documents needs a registration, at least when I tried to enlarge the photo of the document it said I have insufficient permissions.

Ofc that authoritarian police surveillance state we call the United Kingdom arrived to a point where they can put into practice the Online Safety Act of 2023.
While George Orwell turning in his grave they try to realize everything he wrote in 1984 by denying access to porn everything they deem dangerous to children, opting with the "think of the children" excuse, instead of terrorism concerns this time.
Instead of making the parents' responsibility to know what their dear children watching and doing on the internet, they make everyone on the globe responsible for them. So as I put something on the internet, am I the father of ~14 million Bri'ish minors **data from here: https://data.unicef.org/how-many/how-many-children-under-18-are-there-in-the-uk/**?
Websites, platform all over the world started to demand age verification, and not that bs "click here if you are 18 to enter" bs, but actual shit like submitting ID or face recognition and whatnot. Others probably went with the cheaper "ban all UK IPs" solution.
Why? Because the UK government said they'll take measures against those who don't do such things. Such as issuing fines, but they also can just block those websites at the UK based ISPs. Exactly how Russia censors the internet. Yes the UK reached the level of Russian freedom. Short heda Island Slavs.

Now many in the UK who aren't just using Facebook and Instagram, but sites like Pornhub Wikipedia and Onlyfans many others started to use VPNs. Probably asked ShatGPT first what to do about this situation. Or Grok if the previous one censored the answer for the suspicion of terrorist activity.
The UK govt response is: "oh no people most of whom aren't U18 BTW because the vast majority of zoomers beyond poking the smartphone icons can't fathom tech concepts like networking avoiding our surveillance parent control solution we should ban VPNs".

Luckily the Bri'ish people also like freedom unlike their Stalinist overlords Churchill is turning in his grave, they started to raise their voices that this Act might not be a good idea, please dear govt. think through it again.
Good Luck Bri'ish people!

Russian mobile devices will come with MAX installed, a surveillance app that mascarades itself as a messaging app. The model is the Chinese WeChat app don't mistake it with weechat IRC client for CLI. Vietnam and Iran has similar stuff too.
I can't wait until the UK adopts the idea.
And then us.

But I mean... all the apps spying on you, it's like nationalizing the datamining, its not just the privilege of tech companies of the Silicon Valley.

no shit Sherlock

I am looking for practical ways to not get my kids ruined by the school system.
Ideally in or between Sauerland and Pfalz.
More precisely I want to get in contact with people who have similar ideas or are doing it allready. Moving to other parts of Germany is possible if necessary.
All I found on the web so far, are people to far away from me or overprized skype calls.

I have assumed that "krautchan" is the same as the original.
But it appears that I am wrong and this thread is missplaced.

But as I am here allready, I might aswell elaborate on why school sucks.

> every kid is individual
in school everyone gets the same curiculum
> learning works best if the kid is motivated
motivation comes from the kid, its not given to him like schools pretend
> oversocialization
there are WAY to many kids in school


Interesting, there are a few doubts, however. Assuming the parents have the means, knowhow and will to properly educate their kids at home:
> how best to avoid sheltering them too much from the outside world, so they can be streetwise etc.?

> I know a girl who was homeschooled and grateful for her family values (she is very close to her family) but she claimed to have missed the social aspect of school and didn't have as many opportunities for friendships and perhaps social maturing, how could the parents best address this?

> how soon can the parents introduce the kids to the notions and dangers behind social media, normalized promiscuity, porn and the Internet?


Also,
> comfy_home_2.jpg

That looks extremely comfy and I have played with the notion of many people having lived like this throughout history and even prehistory. But would that closed environment with the fireplace not be dangerous in terms of CO2 and CO poisoning?

In the Nihon Shoki it mentions Emishi living in the ground.
The version of the Nihon Shoki I have is an English translation  from the early 20th century and the translator makes many interesting foot notes based on his knowledge of the area where he says Ainu still do live in the ground.

Quite a few people find the idea of such buildings as comfy homes. The depicted one seems typically Slavic.
There are many places all around the world where people lived in similar dugouts. Even here the archaeologists found lots of remains of buildings which were half sunk into the ground (compared to the pic in OP, like it had half the depth of that) from the Árpád-era (the first dynasty of Hungarian kings) and they theorize that they were homes, others think they were tied to some kind of work. I'm not sure if all but many had a lower level in one corner, like in the depth of a human calf. They don't really know why, some guesses they sit there...
Slavs also had similar buildings with a fireplace in one corner.

Anyway there are many problems with these. The big plus is insulation, the big minus is waterproofing. It's easy to get a pool in spring in a place like OP. For harsh winter, like in Siberia, it's perfectly fine, for it snows a lot, everything is "dry" due to the -30 and lower.
Smoke issue can be solved with a chimney. But in OP that looks more like an oven for baking bread - those need a closed space that retains heat and not a windpipe like a normal fireplace.

There is a lot to write about these. Even today people plan dugout houses and homes.
